King Salman's Private Nukes

The raising of his right hand suggests that King Salman is a fan of Hitler, which means President Barack Obama is a supporter of Neo-Nazis who possess nukes. It sounds ridiculous but this is the logic of the anti-Trump media.

On the 15th February 2016, Saudi analyst Dahham Al-’Anzi affirmed
in Arabic on Russia Today that his country has been in possession of an
atomic weapon for two years, in order to protect Arabs, and that the
major powers know this.
The declarations of Saudi analyst Dahham Al-’Anzi, on the 15th
February 2016 on Russia Today – which were immediately translated and
broadcast by the Israeli service Memri – raised a considerable echo in
the Arab world. However, no international political leader, not even
Saudi, made any comment. And Russia Today has erased them from its
Internet site.

The declarations of Dahham Al-’Anzi - an intellectual close to Prince
Mohamed ben Salman – lead us to think that he was not speaking of a
strategic atomic weapon (A-bomb or H-bomb), but a tactical bomb
(N-bomb). Indeed, it’s difficult to imagine how Saudi Arabia could
«protect Arabs» from the Syrian «dictatorship» by using a strategic
nuclear bomb. Moreover, this corresponds to what has already been
observed in Yemen. However, nothing is certain.

It is obviously unlikely that Saudi Arabia had built this kind of
weapon itself, since it is absolutely bereft of scientific knowledge in
the matter. On the other hand, it is possible that it bought the weapon
from a state which has not signed the NPT, Israel or Pakistan. If we are
to believe Duane Clarridge, it would have been Islamabad which sold its
technology, but in this case, the weapon could not be a neutron bomb.

Since Saudi Arabia signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (TNP), it did
not have the right acquire the weapon, whether it be a tactical or a
strategic bomb. But it would be enough for King Salman to declare that
he bought the bomb in his own name to avoid being concerned by the
Treaty. We know that the state of Saudi Arabia is the King’s private
property, and that his budget only represents a part of the royal
coffers. This would mean that we have entered a phase of the
privatisation of nuclear weapons - a scenario which until now had been
unthinkable. This evolution must be taken most seriously.
